Boasting fine craftmanship throughout, Tuscan Order columns; double crown ceiling mouldings for displaying works of art; 9' ft ceilings; and the massive and impressive beveled granitework, from a local Kennebunk quarry. A special feature in what was the medical room, the laurel wreath stained glass window, depicting the winning of Victory!
